I was out walking tonight and forgot my camera, but after the Mosler I thought nothing would happen.

But I walked into the presentation of the new BMW 5 series (not allowed in):

4438555911_ecbf462530_m.jpg


and parked just around the corner: Z4 M Roadster

on the way back: Lotus Europe

4439329122_ac07cfa445_m.jpg


=================
Something else tonight:

A C63 AMG without model signs, or a simple C class with double exhaust and spoilers mounted?
4439327588_5b8646aa42_m.jpg
4439326654_c3698d9eec_m.jpg


Earlier tonight, I'm convinced it is a normal car with exhaust changed and the owner tried to make it interesting:

=========================
WRS 72 was calling too the last days:
4438548355_08fe5bf8e4_m.jpg
4438546769_00c56f7214_m.jpg


=========================

I also wanted to start special series, like Toyota MR (the normal name is too close to the sound of "Yuk 🤬" in French.)

Mark 1

Mark 2

Mark 3 (The car before is part of the French exotics series, Citroen C6)

I found one more in my older files that may or may not be interesting enough:

I am guessing that is a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster with a cute little Lotus Exige just ahead?

Snapped outside Gordon Ramsey's Claridges restaurant in central London 2 years back now.

I really wish I'd snapped a pic on my phone of the Bahraini prince's white and chrome Veyron outside Harrod's a few months back.

Also, I don't remember anyone answering, I have a lot of great pics of race cars from the Autosport International and MPH shows, are cars seen at motorshows welcomed in this thread?

Thanks again for the kind welcome all 👍

All the best

Maz,

I understood this thread is for street.
For events and showrooms, this one was created:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=118094

I have some old pictures of a gathering, like an old timers rally.
For me it is somewhere in between. All these cars were driving on the street, but I took most pictures on a parking lot where they were doing administration. For me since it was an open parking lot, more in this thread.

======================
So another special serie: the French exotics, not clear where they can be seen in the world, I do not like all of them.

Citroen C6 (also liked the Golf)

Find of the day, Lingenfelter Camaro. And for anybody that knows, I will be on the other side of that garage on Saturday, I'll just keep it at that :sly:

Some great spots up there. The Mosler is pretty crazy! NISM0_SKYLINE do you know how much they were selling the Reventon Raoadster model for? I have seen it in model shops here.

RAW files from the UK that I couldn't edit back there:

I don't think it was for sale. It around, if not bigger then a 1/12 scale car. Plus the place where it was is owned by a guy that owns a real Reventon, well actually if you could see through that wall you could probably see it. Along with a Veyron, Enzo, well actually just watch this.

That video is over a year old, so I know it's different by now, but I should be there Saturday so I'll get a lot of pictures.

Yes, it's the same model as I have seen here. It's part of a series which includes a Veyron and a 458 Italia. Just interested to know the price as the ones here aren't cheap!
 
Amalgam! That's the one. I remember seeing the name on the base now. Thanks for the info.
 
I've seen a brand new McLaren! In Orange no less, could barely hear it cruising down the road but it's got a lovely rumble to it. I wish I'd had my camera on me or videoed it for that matter because I came close to wetting myself.
 
Most people don't like the Panamera, but this one will be badass.

All kinds of carbon fibre goodies, sexy white & black theme, & has a lot of upcoming modifications. And the brake discs are gigantic! Slotted & a big caliper to match. :eek:
 
Technically it is a Chevelle. Malibu is just the top trim level.

(Don't worry too much though, many people don't know this, and some think it's actually the other way around.)
 
Didn't get a pic - more accurately, I didn't want to give the hat-challenged hoodie punk who was inexplicably driving it the satisfaction of taking one - but I saw a black RHD GT-R on my way to work today. Local plates, too. Very very rare to see a RHD car around here, let alone a new $90k car driven by someone well under 30. No way to tell if it was JDM or UKIM, though.

Oh, I was the one of the people who thought it was the other way around. So that means it was better then finding a normal Chevelle?

Sad thing is , I've been told all that before, but never seem to remember, oh well.
 
I believe the trims were:
1966-1968
Chevelle 300
Chevelle 300 Deluxe
Chevelle SS396
Chevelle Malibu

1969
Chevelle 300
Chevelle 300 Deluxe (with optional SS package)
Chevelle Malibu (with optional SS package)

1970-1972
Chevelle Base
Chevelle Malibu (with optional SS package)

Oddly enough, in 1974, the Malibu was the base package for the Chevelle. Go figure huh! :lol:
 
Lotus Exige with and Oakland University plate (alma mater). I was cruising a a pretty brisk pace and was way a head of this guy. We hit a clear stretch of road and all I saw was a yellow blur pass me, he had to be at 130mph+.

I came close to wetting myself.

Picture of wet pants is the least proof we expect here.

I miss a lot of car pictures, but afterwards I try not to talk about them, difficult though.

Here is some stuff I did get:

Finally Corvette C6 and Z06, sometimes they come fast:

A Mini clubman John Cooper works (I actually took a picture before of one, but could not find it on the memory card afterwards)

F430 oups
360 with special stripes

911 4S, does the red S mean something special??

959, was looking since long for this one, almost walked past it, but then saw it written on the side:

I also miss many nice cars but some are too nice not to say, the McLaren is a prime example. I had to say and your just going to have to believe me, if you don't then fine, it's only a car spot.
 
From walking around yesterday and a couple I found lying around:

Went down to Woodward last night, saw a ton of great stuff but unfortunately I was by myself and it was too unsafe to attempt to get pictures and drive. Not wanting to ass end someone I figured I'd concentrate on driving instead of picturing.
